Okay y'all. Since I've been checking out cool concerts on youtube, I ran across this when I was searching Earth Wind & Fire- Lordy- I don't know whether to be tickled, amazed, or even disturbed at watching this 4 year old take on 'You Can't Hide Love'

http://youtube.com/watch?v=Ms6BtRYMtpw

and there's a whole series of her videos! singing Falling by Alicia Keyes, more Earth, Wind...it's kind of cute, but sort of nutty and suspecct at the same time! Wait til you watch her sing 'OWWWW!'

There were threads about this girl aaages ago, where have you been mate?
Anyway, she's a cutie

LOL! Yeah, little Nia's already an internet Superstar!

Mary J used Nia for her "Reflection" album commercial.

I find it a little irritating when someone replies to a thread saying that it's been done before, it always leaves you feeling a little embarrassed. It may well be the case that there was a thread before but there are new people who have joined the org since and have never seen it. If they had they obviously would not have posted. If someone has seen it before just don't post, there's always plenty more brand new threads to check, allow people to contribute and don't frighten them off.

Sorry but I just had to get that off my chest, it's not a personal dig funkenstein just an observation

i think i saw this last year but i don't mind watching again because she's a cutie

Harlepolis said:

Oh that was her, I never knew would have known it...

am i the only one annoyed by her mannerisms? not by her or anything...but its obvious she is miming modern singers and it well...it scurres me...cause i think back to ten years or so ago when kids were miming mj and now we have to deal with the usher and jt's of the world....

what should we expect in ten years from now from kids lika nia?

sosgemini said:

@ you analyzing it.

I kinda get where you coming from though

I'm not sure what she knocked "out of the park." She's cute as can be and her dookie braids are the bomb, but she can't sing.

Ditto!

Yes, you are the only one annoyed !!!

best to be annoyed then to be annoying.

I have to admit, I am not feeling the clips of li'l Nia at 4 years old.. The neckrolling, excessive facial expressions and arm waving is a bit much. The clips of her sing when she was 2 and 3 are adorable though.

Why do people put so much emphasis on her per4mance? LOL She's only a child

Harlepolis said:

I know she's a child, but I just don't like seeing little black girls acting like stereotypical grown black women. Again, the clips of li'l mama at 2 and 3 are cute.

You know all about being annoying. Nia is four years old. She likes singing. Have you ever been around a toddler. That is one of the things they do !!!.

You over analyze everything.

sosgemini said:

It's funny how you can dish out digs and laugh at other people, but you can't what you dish out.

laurarichardson said:

Consider the source, sos. That's all I'm sayin'.

laurarichardson said:

Sorry, Laura, there wer moments when i fwlt a little weirded out, too! I mean, initially I was tripping on how she could catch all of the breaks, but then there were moments when it SCURRED me too

I won't over analyze, That was f-ing horrible! I had to turn it off after about a minute
